Waves of the Past

five

     "Oh sorry I didn't see..." Alanda starts before looking up and meeting my eyes. Recognition shows on her face before she narrows her light brown eyes at me. "You little [enter long string of the worst curses you know] why are here I can't believe you [enter even worse words]! Let's me and you have a nice little talk!" She growls out viciously, before grabbing my arm non to gently and dragging me further into the store.
        To say I am surprised by the way she's acting would be a lie, the first time I ever spoke to Alanda she threatened to kill me slowly with a dull spoon if I ever hurt her brother. Her brother so happened to be William, the very same boy I dated and who hates me now for reasons I don't want to think about at the moment.
          "Hey Alanda," I murmur quietly. I know she may have threatened to, but the worst harm she'll do to me is maybe punch my face which I think is fair enough to be honest.
        She just lets out a loud inhuman sound, gripping my arm even tighter.
      After a long journey through Walmart of my ex boyfriend's fierce older sister dragging me around, we finally stop, and she shoves me away.
      "Why are you here? Does Lee know your here? Haven't you ruined our lives enough?" I wince at her last question, but relief quickly spreads through me when I realize Will hadn't told her about our... run in yesterday at the beach.
         "I just moved down here, no he doesn't, and I didn't know you guys lived here," I explain in a quiet voice.
       "Well keep you and your spoiled self away from my family. You've already done enough damage. I mean why would you do that to him? Because he didn't have enough money for you and your perfect little fam..."
      "Shut up!" I shriek in a loud high pitched voice. "Just shut up! You don't know anything about me or my perfect little family! In fact no one does! So just shut the frick up and stop pretending to know about things you think you do!"
      At this point, my throat hurts slightly from all the yelling, my face is fire truck red, and my hands are tightened into fists at my side. It feels good to say what I think. Even if I'm taking all my bottled up anger out on someone I know doesn't deserve it, it feels nice to finally speak my mind for once.
       Alanda looks shocked, her jaw hanging open, and her eyes wide, speechless for the first time since I've known her. Soon that speechlessness turns back into anger, and we are right back where we started, all my anger already drained.
       "Oh please! Your just a spoiled brat who gets everything you want in life and is convinced a broken nail is the worst there is in life!" She pushes my shoulder a little each word, eyes burning with hate.
       You think I have it easy? I want to scream. In fact that's all I want to do, run around screaming about how unfair it is that I got what I got. That my baby girl was never even born. That my parents and brother hate me. That I was hurt and cracked and with each word coming out of Alanda's mouth is another crack. Soon all I will be is the sharp broken pieces. I want to scream all this until my throat bleeds, until someone forces me to shut up.
       But I don't say a thing. Because I've already said to much, so I retreat back to the quiet girl and pretend everyone has it figured out, when, in reality, they know nothing at all.
